Hiei meets Shiori, Yusuke, and Kuwabara, and tells the story of Yoko Kurama and nicknames Shuichi Kurama. Now, on with the fic!

A/n II December 5, 2004: Hello readers! I'm very sorry for the delay, I've been very busy lately catching up with my Harry Potter fics, school, and my social life. So yeah. Those are my very pathetic excuses for taking so long to update. Sorry!!!

Entering the Minamono house, Hiei was greeted to the faint smell of roses and rich coffee. Slipping off his small black shoes and placing them next to the off-grey school shoes Shuichi wore, he followed Shuichi into the kitchen.

With large windows above what he believed to be called a sink and white counters, with matching cabinets, cupboards, and a refrigerator lining the walls and the white tiled floor, the only thing not bright in the room was the light brown table with two dark blue placemats on opposite ends of the table, and two matching chairs.

Unsure as to what to do, the demon prince stood in the doorway watching Shuichi pull two cream-colored bowls out of a cabinet to the left of the sink, pull a strange yellow box labeled Cheerios out of a large cupboard where similar boxes were kept as well as other packages, and two silver spoons from another cabinet inside the counter. Setting all these down on the small table, he opened the box and poured small, tan-colored circles with holes in the center into the bowls, and set each bowl with a spoon on either end of the table.

Noticing that the other boy was not sitting at the table he looked over at Hiei.

"Hiei, please sit down and join me to breakfast. I hope you like Cheerios, its really the only cereal we have I'm afraid," he remarked with a kind grin.

Hiei sat down in the closest chair to the door, and watched as Shuichi went over to the refrigerator and pulled out another strange box, only this one was made differently, was white, and was labeled Milk instead of Cheerios. Hiei watched as Shuichi pushed back on the two front flaps of the box, in the process forcing a triangle shaped opening form on top of the box, and tipped the box over the bowl of Cheerios. He continued watching as a creamy white liquid poured out of the box and onto the cereal until the bowl was half full with the milk. Shuichi passed the box to Hiei, and carefully imitating his movements poured the milk onto his food as well.

Once his bowl was also half full with milk, he got up and put the box back into the refrigerator. Sitting back down in his chair he used the spoon to scoop up the cereal and take a bite. It was much like eating hard bread; only the bread was submerged in liquid, and was beginning to get softer. Finishing up the rest of the cereal, he waited patiently for his new acquaintance to finish his own breakfast before asking his long repressed question.

"Shuichi? Why did you take me into your home without question?"

The red haired boy looked up from his cereal to give the smaller boy his full attention. Smiling slightly, he replied, "I'm not sure exactly. It's funny actually, as soon as I heard your voice I got the impression that I knew you from somewhere. One's mind works in mysterious ways, don't you agree?"

The corners of Hiei's mouth turned up slightly, forming a small, almost non-existent smile. "That it does."

The kitchen was silent again for a few moments as the two boys continued to eat their breakfast before Hiei broke the silence once again. "What are you planning to do today?"

Looking up again, Shuichi replied, "I was thinking that I should introduce you to my other friends. That way you won't feel like a stranger here. Does that sound fine to you?"

"Hai, that sounds like a good way to spend a day." ::Much better than how days are usually spent at home:: he thought bitterly. Hearing footsteps approaching then stopping Hiei swiveled around in his seat to see a beautiful black haired woman with kind eyes standing in the doorway.

"Kaa-san! You shouldn't be out of bed yet! I was just about to fix some breakfast up for you and bring it to you on a tray! You didn't need to come down yourself!" Shuichi said worriedly.

The woman laughed. "Shuichi-chan, dear you really need to stop worrying about me. I think I'm well enough to get myself some breakfast. I came down here because I wanted to meet your new friend. I heard you two talking a little about introducing him to the others and I wanted to see who this new boy is."

"Ah yes. I nearly forgot. Hiei, this is my mother Shiori, mother, this is Hiei. He is passing through here and will be staying with us for a while, if that is no trouble for you of course."

"Of course it's no trouble! It's great to finally have a guest! Hiei-san, please stay as long as you like. As long as you are a friend of my son, you are no stranger in this house. Now Shuichi, you and Hiei have a good time today." With that she grabbed another bowl, poured herself some cereal, kissed her son on the cheek, and departed back to her room.

Hiei watched her go. ::Now I know where he inherited his looks. She must have been the most beautiful woman in town when she was younger::

He looked up. Shuichi was getting up and putting the used bowl in the sink and rinsing it off with water from the faucet before putting it in the dishwasher underneath the sink. Hiei stood up and carefully did the same, not wanting to break anything. Once he was done Shuichi said "Well Hiei, are you ready to go?"

"Hai."

With that the two boys walked to the front door, slipped on their shoes, and with Shuichi leading the way, began walking to the mall where Shuichi's best friends Yusuke and Kuwabara always spent their free time.

Ddc: Yay another chapter done! * happy dance * ok I did this at 12 am, without caffeine so if it sucks that's why. And yes, Hiei is WAY out of character. He's actually being polite and not cursing in multiple languages! That's why it's an alternate universe fic after all. Review please!

A/n II December 5, 2004: I apologize for the short chapter, this one really is just a filler chapter so that Hiei can meet Shiori. Anyway, the next chapter will be longer than this and the rest of the yyh gang is gonna show up then. Once again, pretty please review, I love all who review. :-D And now for reviewer responses.

Robin Rainyday: Tehehe very nice. I'm sorry that the last few chapters are so short, I promise after a few more the story plot will start picking up and then the chapters will steadily get longer. Until then please be patient with the plot. Tehe yes! Someone noticed the lemon tree!!! Tehehehehe. Hope you liked this chappie too!

SilverWolf: I think I rested for too long tehe. I know exactly what you mean about hoping for author's to write new chappies, I want them to do it all the time. Which means I should probably update faster huh. Tehe. Hope you liked this chappie as much as the last one!

Sacharia: ::blushes:: Thank you so much! I really don't think I deserve your praise, but that's ok. Hope you keep enjoying my work here and that I don't do anything to dirty your impression of me. :-D

What2callmyself: Hmm you're not the first person who's had trouble with reviewing. I wonder if fanfic has a bug or something still. Ooo a returning reader. :-D please feel free to give me any feedback for this story to make it better than the first draft of it. And hopefully I'll update faster than I am right now tehe.

FireChibi: Thank you very much for your review! I like to make different stories so that everyone isn't going "Oh great, ANOTHER fic just like the one I JUST read." Hope you continue to enjoy it!

Raging Pheonix: !!! Lmao!! Hahahahahahahhahaha omg I remember reading this review and I laughed so hard and then showed it to my friend Kit who laughed for about 2 minutes. I love it! "2 boys, 1 house, no sexual preference confirmed, hentai thoughts swarming." I think I should put this on my profile :-P

AomeRL: ::blushes:: Thank you very much for your review. Ooo tu hablas espanol? Tenia clases de espanol en mi escuela para...hmm...tres anos. No hablo la lingua muy bien, pero puedo comprender y escribir un poco. :-D Muchas gracias para tus comentarios!

Soko, Kurama's girl: Yay! Another person who thinks my little story is original. :-D you guys make my day, you really do. Thank you so much for your review, and I hope you like this chapter as well.

DemonandGoddess: Tehehe the almighty DG commands that people review my story! Very nice, very nice. Ok good, when I was looking over this fic a few months ago I thought to myself "Oh my god, these first chapters are just bam bam bam bam!" Tehe if that makes any sense at all. ^_^;;; anyway, I'm glad that they seem less rushed, that was my main goal. ::raises eyebrow:: A rush of rosepetals eh? Sweeetttt tehe.

Mala Darkling: Wow...tehehe I think that's the most anyone's ever called my fic awesome ^_^;;. Oh, Hiei's cloak is the cloak he has in the beginning of the Dark Tournament, that blue one trimmed with yellow. All the other times in the series it's black I think...tehe. Ugh...even going over these chapters twice I guess isn't enough for me to catch all my mistakes. I need a beta ^_^;;; I don't think you're too critical, it's important that I catch those things. Oh, a sentence was repeated probably because I may have copy and pasted something in the wrong spot ^_^;;; ::blushes:: I'm really flattered that you think my story is so creative and interesting. Hope you continue to enjoy it!
